Recycling Event to Benefit the Woburn Historical Society
Submitted by Mike Cooper on Tue, 03/09/2010 - 4:45pm.
Are you wondering what to do with that old television, computer monitor or appliance that is broken, unwanted or unused and just taking up space?
Paul Medeiros has found and is working with a Massachusetts company that will collect these items at drop off sites set up throughout Woburn at various times throughout the year. This is an excellent opportunity to recycle these items at a minimal cost, compared to the high cost associated with curbside appliance recycling programs and will also be a fundraiser for local organizations that will sponsor these events. read more »

SCI's Policies Regarding Politics
Submitted by Mike Cooper on Thu, 03/04/2010 - 11:40am.
Some of you have noticed political postings made on our website. You may see writings of a political nature under recent blog entries, or as comments under other content. You will notice, however, that these writings are all authored by private individuals with no connection to SCI.
I want to make it clear that we at SCI do not endorse any political party, candidate, or cause.
However, this site is intended to be a forum for the citizens of Woburn to talk about subjects that are important to our community. Those who wish to submit blog entries or comments relating to political matters may do so. We will do our best not to hinder or censor anyone's speech, or give aid to any particular argument, so long as the conversation is kept civil.
